SDLG, one of the world’s leading suppliers of wheel loaders, has demonstrated mix of standard and new products at bauma China 2014

 The SDLG booth at bauma China 2014 showed a mix of some of the brand’s biggest sellers together with a number of new introductions, including two new innovative concept machines. The company also made a strong point of highlighting the depth of its range, showing units from across its product lines.

Underlining its position as one of the world’s leading producers of wheel loaders, SDLG showed nine units from this product line, including the L9120F concept machine. The other eight ranged from the 1-tonne capacity LG918 up to the 9-tonne capacity-rated LG989.

Among the wheel loaders on show was the LG938L, a 3-tonne capacity unit that is currently one of the most popular in the international marketplace. With its higher end design specifications, this unit is popular in construction, mining and aggregates applications. The ZF transmission offers four forward and three reverse gears, while the load-sensing hydraulics give the unit a smooth feel, making operations easier for the driver. It can be equipped with up to a 2.5 cu.m. bucket and maximum breakout force is 96 kN. The LG938L has customers worldwide, including in North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Another popular wheel loader pulling in the crowds at bauma China 2014 was the LG959F, notable as the first SDLG model to be sold in North America. The unit made industry history when it was delivered to Double K Excavating in Canada, after the company purchased the machine just weeks after SDLG launched in to the North American market in July of 2013. The unit has a 5-tonne capacity rating and maximum breakout force of 152 kN. It can be fitted with up to a 3.1 cu.m. bucket.

From the SDLG range of excavators there was an equally strong showing and, like wheel loaders, there were nine of these units on display. Also as with the wheel loaders, there was a high capacity concept machine on show, in this case the 46-tonne rated LG6460E.
Also of interest to many international visitors was the LG6300E, which has a 30-tonne rating and powerful digging force, making it suited to a range of heavy duty applications. The LG6300E can accommodate up to a 1.9 cu.m. bucket and combines that with a maximum excavation force of 193.5 kN for excellent job site productivity. In 2013, the LG6300E was launched into Africa and two of the first units were delivered to Morocco for work on a high-speed rail link. In addition to building excavators at its manufacturing headquarters in Linyi, China, SDLG excavators are also built at the company’s manufacturing facility in Pederneiras, Brazil.

“For us, bauma China 2014 was a great opportunity to underline the strength of our product line,” said Guo Shaohua. “Our focus on producing robust and reliable equipment at an excellent price is allowing us to grow our customer base and it’s important that we grow our product line to support the ever increasing needs of
our customers.”
